i also found myself thinking a great deal about the questions of resource distribution over the break. i've tended to do so at most large family gatherings of feasting for the past couple years (much to my family's dismay.) my younger sister and i brought up global warming at thanksgiving dinner, which wasn't appreciated ("but even WITH obama we're approaching the point of positive feedback cycles!" "girls, please")
my tendency to mistake celebration for gluttony was only exasperated by the fact that this year my grandparents decided to take the whole family to DISNEY WORLD!!! i brought my video camera, thinking it would be a gold mine for "candid" shooting... rudely filming people without asking their permission. however, i was overcome by a pervasive sense of something like fear of disney repercussions and only shot from the safety of the balconies of the hotel.
i think disney world is a perfect example of excess. i know this is obvious, but the emphasis is on "perfect." it's perfect because no one questions the system of control, and d-dubs manages to maintain a flawless simulacra of disney reality.
i found this on a disney world chat board:
Protein Spill?

Did you know that vomit is called a protein spill in disney world!
BooboBunny:This is true. If a guest or cast member vomits, a cast member is supposed to call a custodian to clean up a Protien Spill. Just one of the ways Disney preserves the show!!!!
...note the quadruple exclamation points.
i will write more on disney world later. here's some homies enjoying dw's trademark turkey legs.
